Chernobyl Children International hoping success of HBO mini-series will help increase donations

The founder of the Irish charity which has helped thousands of children affected by the world’s worst nuclear accident says she hopes the global reaction to the critically-acclaimed US TV miniseries Chernobyl will translate into donations.

Chernobyl Children International’s (CCI) founder and voluntary CEO, Adi Roche, said some €12,500 in donations have been made in recent weeks during the screening of the harrowing HBO and Sky Atlantic series in recent weeks.
